Roxy was nothing short of INCREDIBLE! She saved our entire vacation by stepping in when a previous dog-sitter was not keeping his commitment. Because we were out of the country at the time, we could only provide limited direction and guidance from afar and she was still able to seamlessly navigate this difficult situation. We appreciated so much that she took charge, told us not to worry, and just handled everything. It was a relief ...

Roxy was nothing short of INCREDIBLE! She saved our entire vacation by stepping in when a previous dog-sitter was not keeping his commitment. Because we were out of the country at the time, we could only provide limited direction and guidance from afar and she was still able to seamlessly navigate this difficult situation. We appreciated so much that she took charge, told us not to worry, and just handled everything. It was a relief to know the dogs were in her hands! She went above and beyond in every aspect- cleaning up after the previous dog-sitter, going to the store for more dog food, leaving treats and toys for the pups. She left a detailed log each day and it was obvious they were well cared for; we returned to happy and healthy dogs. You can tell she is a true dog-lover and we were so grateful to have her stay with our pups! I can't say enough great things about her!

Roxy is great with dogs she is kind, compassionate and fun my fur babies love her! Leaving my dogs is never easy but knowing Roxy is there puts me at ease knowing they will be well cared for and LOVED. I would use her time and time again.

If you want some one responsible and compassionate about your pet Roxy is who your looking for.

Roxy took such good care of my cat when I was away I don't even think my cat missed me while I was gone. She communicated whenever anything came up and made sure to send pictures to keep posted with my cat! She's great!

I'll love any pet, big or small!

There’s just nothing like the love that a dog brings into our lives! I love that they are always happy to see you, and I them! They live in the moment just like people should.

There’s just nothing like the love that a dog brings into our lives! I love that they are always happy to see you, and I them! They live in the moment just like people should. I've always wanted a career where I would be doing something I love like helping animals, so getting to be a pet sitter really is a dream come true for me. I love getting to know all the different types of dogs and their pet parents; each one is so different! But above all, it’s so great being able to provide love and care to pups and owners in need.

My history of taking care of pets is very extensive! I am currently the proud pet parent of my 5-year-old Border Collie (and several cats). I started pet sitting for friends and family about 7 years ago, and my animal career has blossomed ever since! I've worked at a pet hospital as a vet assistant and I am currently a certified dog trainer. Needless to say, your pup will be in great hands—no matter what! At the moment, I am also a full time student who spends most of my free time either relaxing at home with the cats or hiking and playing outside with the dog.

When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all.

I know leaving your pet when you’re away is very difficult, so I’m here to make that time as easy as possible. Your pup’s safety and happiness is my number one priority! For me, that always starts by knowing their schedules inside and out. I know that pups are creatures of habit, so making sure to attend to their needs in that way is very important to me. That way, they can feel safe and right at home when they’re under my care. But once we have those bases covered, I’m happy just to do what makes them happy! I always like to go the extra mile, so it’s great to know just how to spoil your pup too!

When Roxy watches your pet

First thing to do in the morning when we wake up is to go outside for a quick potty break and stretch our legs together. After that, we’d have breakfast together then head out for a walk around the neighborhood. Playing fetch or keep away are just a few games we would play in the yard until lunch/dinner time. We’d spend our day together cuddling and enjoying each other’s company until ending the day with a light walk before it got too dark outside.

I love walking around the neighborhood when it’s not too busy with cars and other dogs, mostly morning or evening walks (this time also keeps their paws safe from burning on hot concrete). There is a local dog park that would let your pooch run out all that energy with other friends! I also enjoy heading to Fullerton Trails for a light hike. There are many dog friendly hikes in my area, all of which I have brought my own pooch with. Now that he is a little older I try to not hike as often as we used to, but we would go out at least 3 times a week.
